The ALMIGHTY DOLLAR
THE MANY HAVE TOO FEW,
THE FEW TOO MANY!!
II YOU wish to know

why we can sell goods so CHEAP
we will tell you: 1t is done by the
Power and Force of the Almighty
Dollar cutting its way through the
very centre of Time Values, know
ing no law but the GREATEST VAL
UEs for the LEAST MONEY; bring
ing bargains of value in every class
OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wrought
out and gathered up from the
Slaughter pens of Credit by the
power of the Ready Dollars, by men
of experience, intelligence and pluck
expert buyers-always at their
posts of duty-bargains which leave
defeat and disaster at the other end
of the line. Just as long as men 60
in debt they will get hard up and
fail, and their boosted credit valua-
lions will have to measure arms
with the Almighty Dollar at the
other end.
We follow the wake of the credit
system where some gigantic concern
of yesterday broke to-day and in-
stead of letting their enormous
stock of merchandise 60 back to the
Jobbers-back into the old grooves
of trade as they always have, and
the old time prices 60 on so that you
never get them excepting at exhor-
bitant rates-we bring them to you
direct and with but one profit and
that a small one so that at this end
of the line we
PROPOSE TO LEAD
With the GREATEST VALUES
FOR THE LEAST MONEY. The
masses have suffered long and fear
fully from the disastrous results Of
the credit system suffered until IL
is asking nearly every other days
labor, or every other hill of tobacco,
or corn, or cotton grown to meet its
exactions. The credit system is a
bad system f; it is all hope deferred.
The merchant does not want IL for
he knows its sleepless nights and
heartrending exactions, especially II
he has tried it as the writer Of
this has. He knows that the
merchant who sells goods on time
is an object of pity as rule for
by reason of those who cannot
pay, and those who will not, he Is
forced to charge those who do pay
such exhorbitant rates that he Is
ashamed Of it himself. But some
body must pay the losses by this
Credit System, or the merchant fails.
Be sure of that, you who pay.
Now whether we sell you doll
lars worth of goods or not, get out
of the credit system-take the side
of the Almighty Dollar; it is the
only safe, certain side TO stand on.
It is the common sense of it and true
, that all regular lines of merchandise
in each and every stage from the
Manufacturer, Importer or Agent 10
. the Jobber, from the Jobber to the
retail dealer, and from the dealer to
, the consumer, this tax for credit
goes on and whoever touches the
line although they pay cash for the
goods meets this tax. Figure 1t all
out for yourself and you will have
no difficulty In solving the prob
, lem of
RACKET VALUES.
O Values clean cut against Ready
e Dollars. This tax for credit Is the
s CONSUMING TAX and eclipses all
n other systems of taxation. For our.
selves. we have turned our backs on
it and intend to induce and aid to
the extent of our ability as many
people to do likewise as possible.
q Our goods will be marked in plain
n figures at the lowest prices we car
|. possibly afford to take. and from
o this rule there will be no deviation;
" 80 that the rich, the poor and the
{. child can buy goods as cheap as 1t Il
